Age is the leading cause of infertility today. From age 35 onward, a woman’s fertility begins to decline, ovarian reserve decreases, and eggs begin to lose quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nowadays, women are increasingly delaying motherhood for personal, social, or work-related reasons, which is why the idea of preserving fertility<\/strong> represents an opportunity for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At Cl\u00ednica Fertia<\/strong>, we’re committed to spreading this message so that when women decide to become mothers, they have the same chances of pregnancy they would have had at the time of preservation. To that end, we explain what the technique involves, who it’s suitable for, and what its benefits are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Egg vitrification<\/strong> is the method used to preserve a woman’s fertility for as long as she wishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s an assisted reproduction technique<\/strong> that involves freezing a woman’s eggs so she can use them on the day she decides to become a mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s indicated for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eggs don’t undergo any changes or deterioration during the vitrification process, which allows them to be kept intact indefinitely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s no established age limit for egg vitrification<\/strong>, but success rates are higher in younger women. For women who wish to postpone motherhood, the ideal age for vitrification is estimated to be between 32 and 36, when egg quality is very good. As a woman’s age increases, so does the percentage of eggs with abnormal chromosomal makeup, and the number of eggs needed to carry a healthy pregnancy to term increases as well. For all these reasons, the recommendation is to vitrify before age 40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, it’s worth highlighting that egg vitrification<\/strong> is a successful technique, as pregnancy rates are similar to those achieved with fresh eggs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once vitrified, the eggs are stored in straws that are submerged in liquid nitrogen for preservation. These straws have a sealing system that prevents liquid from entering and keeps them secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vitrification itself has no side effects, although in some cases patients may experience side effects related to ovarian stimulation, which are monitored by the clinic at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the future baby, there is no risk, now or in the future; there are no differences between babies born from a vitrified egg and any other baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the eggs are young, in women around age 35, fertility preservation through vitrification offers a fantastic chance of preservation, with more than 90% of eggs surviving the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBut\u2026 what is egg vitrification?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
